PRODUCT REVIEW
You’ll spend at least 4 hours customizing your character, followed by at least the next 20 building your Sanctuary settlement and then the rest of the game rescuing other settlements. Once you remember that there’s more to the game than just rescuing apparently helpless settlers and you abandon what’s his name and his band of merry minutemen, that’s when the rest of the game really begins and you get an interesting story. I’ve waited awhile for this game for some time, not because I didn’t want it, but it was still a bit pricey for a 2 year old game single player game on steam. I only paid like $20 for this. I didn’t need the expansions immediately as I take a while to complete games before I delve into the expansions. I’ll buy the season pack when it goes on sale later. As I believe that single player games shouldn’t be as expensive as online games that can be played with multiple people. That’s my opinion, doesn’t hold a candle to anything else anyone had said about the company and games in general. The purchase arrived on time, and nothing was too wrong.
Oh goodness. Goodness gracious. I can’t compare it to previous games in the series not having played them, but this game…this game is…difficult to characterize accurately. Part of me is frustrated as hell because I thrive on closed-ended things. Having 15 active quests, each of which spawn more quests with possibilities for unique approaches which in turn affect relationships and future gameplay, messes with my completionism mindset.
